How To: Install and Configure eBay Synchronization Add-On

Note

You’ll need an account at the eBay Developers Program website.

Step 1. Install eBay Synchronization Add-On

1.1. Open the CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor Administration panel.

1.2. Go to Add-ons → Manage Add-ons.

1.3. Find the eBay synchronization add-on in the list, and click the Install button.

1.4. Go back to the Installed add-ons tab.

1.5. Set the status of the eBay Synchronization add-on to Active.

Step 2. Get the Authorization Keys

To properly configure the eBay synchronization add-on, get the authorization keys at the eBay Developers Program website.

2.1. Register at the eBay Developers Program website.

2.2. You should receive an Account Activation email with the link to the Account Activation page. Find and click Get your application keys.

The link in your activation email will take you to the Account Activation page.

2.3. On the My Account page, find the Application Keys block. Generate two key sets:

  • Sandbox Keys—keys for the test API requests.
  • Production Keys—keys for real API requests (for the live store).

Hint

You can generate application keys any time on the My Account page.

The application keys are unique identifiers that tell eBay which developer and application is making a call. You can generate either one key set (Sandbox or Production), or both.

2.4. Click Generate Sandbox keys or Generate Production keys depending on your purposes. The system will generate the following keys: DEVID, AppID, and CertID.

Generate the eBay Sandbox and Production keys at the eBay My Account page.

2.5. Return to CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor Administration panel. Go to Add-ons → Manage Add-ons, and click on the eBay synchronization add-on.

2.6. Enter the eBay DevID, eBay AppID, and eBay CertID from Step 2.4. into the corresponding fields.

Enter your eBay IDs in the corresponding fields of the add-on settings.

Step 3. Generate a User Token

3.1. Go to https://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/account/tokens/.

3.2. Choose the key set and the environment. Use Sandbox environment for testing and Production environment for actual sales. After you specify the key set and environment, click Continue to generate token.
